A growing community in Walkerston has been treated to a new and improved library, located across the road from its predecessor.
Mayor Greg Williamson and students from Walkerston State School and St John's Catholic Primary School Walkerston did the honours of cutting the ceremonial ribbon in what is a new chapter for the library.
Since it first opened in 1977, this little library has been a hub for Scrubby. The move across Dutton Street to its new location in the Walkerston Shopping Centre on Creek Street has been a remarkable success.
A Mackay Regional Council spokesperson said “Memberships are skyrocketing, demonstrating that the community appreciate the increased accessibility, parking, space and new technology.
The opening celebrations included cupcakes and tours of the new facility.
